Come on guys, this thread isn't doing much for the wider communities impression of people who like astronomy. TV is the medium of popular culture, it doesn't exist (or persist) unless its popular. Admittedly John Logie Baird might turn in his grave to see television sprout the mind numbing reality TV industry. It probably is one step up entertainment wise from the days of the colisseum and christians versus lions variety shows (last 3 series of big brother perhaps debatable on that point). Long live popular culture (except Rap....don't understand it and can't stand it)
